[Marxism] "Change, " "Hope" ... why they must be talking about Joe Biden

[Eli Stephens]

Typical Cockburn:

"Face it, if you want to stay true to reason and  conscience, the man to vote 
for is  Bob Barr, the Libertarian candidate. Check out from Friday’s 
CounterPunch site his stance on Georgia, an issue on which  I haven’t yet seen 
anything from Ralph."

Doing his best to ignore candidates of the left like the PSL's Gloria La Riva, 
who we know (http://www.pslweb.org/site/PageServer?pagename=votepsl_home) has a 
good position on Georgia, and the Green's Cynthia McKinney, who probably does 
although I haven't seen any statement from her.

Incidentally, for those who frequently write about the "problem" of having 
multiple left tickets on the ballot, the latest article from the PSL is relevant:

I'll just reprint the final three paragraphs:

"These are noteworthy developments for the people’s movement. Sheehan and 
McKinney bring much-needed progressive voices into the electoral discourse. 
Their ability to gather support for their candidacies indicates that growing 
sectors of the population are rejecting the two-party framework that has yielded 
only war and death. Their leadership can advance the development of a 
politically independent mass movement capable of challenging imperialism.

"Gloria La Riva, the Party for Socialism and Liberation’s presidential 
candidate, is proud to join these progressive women by bringing a socialist 
voice to the electoral arena. The La Riva/Puryear campaign is already on the 
ballot in eight states with more to come. The PSL’s La Riva/Puryear campaign 
stands side by side with McKinney and her running mate Rosa Clemente in 
challenging the two-party system

"The PSL welcomes McKinney’s and Sheehan’s candidacies as expressions of the 
outrage, frustration and desire for radical social change in the United States. 
Together, these campaigns have the potential to build a stronger base for the 
people’s progressive movement in the coming period."
